Question

You are the CFO of Designer Brands and expect your firm to generate FCFs of $550,000 per year (starting next year) for 10 years. After that, annual FCFs will grow by 1% per year forever. Therefore, FCF in year 11 would be higher than FCF in year 10, FCF in year 12 would be higher than year 11, and so on. You expect a cost of capital of 4% for Designer Brands. How much would you value Designer Brands

Answer 1

I would value the Designer Brand as $16,970,189.21.

What is the value of the designer brand?

The value of the designer brand can be determined using the two-stage FCF growth model.

FCF each year from year 1 to 10 = $550,000

FCF from year 11 = ($550,000 x 1.01) / (0.04 - 0.01) = $18,516,666.67

The present value of the FCF would be determined next:

($550,000 / 1.04) + ($550,000 / 1.04^2) + ($550,000 / 1.04^3) + ($550,000 / 1.04^4) + ($550,000 / 1.04^5) + ($550,000 / 1.04^6) + ($550,000 / 1.04^7) + ($550,000 / 1.04^8) + ($550,000 / 1.04^9) + ($550,000 / 1.04^10) + ( $18,516,666.67 / 1.04^10) = $16,970,189.21
